Hello everyone does anybody know of some software that can be added to fs9 to make the clouds framerate friendly as when they are turned up frame rate drops. obviously i know the settings can be adjusted but i thought i seen some software a few months ago on here that alows you to adjust the clouds. I run a p4 3ghz 9600xt radeon 1024 ddram. i suppose im being to picky with me frame rates but i like everything smooth dont we all.

Cheers flying bart
ps has anyone seen any airport scenery that is of the new airport in the north of England used to be called finningley now known as Robin hood (Doncaster) Wink

...mmm...think I saw that but as I remember it just used 2d clouds which are not as real as the 3ds...could be wrong but you can do that in the Sim.....commoner. Wink

..lol... if you can't get satisfaction with your specs then I'd go back to Sonic the Hedgehog..... Grin

...Waiting for the new Donny airport myself....let us all know if you find it first eh? Wink

See commoner I new you liked sonic the hedgehog Grin

I had to turn my drawing distance down alot this sim is harder on my system than any other game ever Doom3 or half life2 played why smoother. I had to sacrifice some stuff and well clouds was one.

I've been using framerate friendly 3D clouds which I DL'd from AVSIM. If need be, I could upload them to my website for downloading.

What do computers and air conditioners have in common?
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.
